Didn't watch the video yet, but if this is true this is the MO for the typical "saint" that was a great father and turning his life around.

We are in the context of this discussion...when we're talking about a copy infringing on your freedoms and specifically to the point I made, when he becomes irrational and you feel he may do something harmful if you continue to stand up for yourself. No?

According to the Tulsa World, the taser and the gun were shot at almost the same time. Also, I don't believe he had a criminal record.

Not the facts as we know the at this point at all. You'll convince a few he was tazed and just Hulked through it being "wet", but they didn't taze him prior to being shot.

We know your post history on these topics so go ahead and get it over with.

Even I don't think they are one in the same. Instances where you can't tell the difference is when I have a problem.

Law abiding citizens shouldn't fear the people "protecting" them. A free society shouldn't have to feel like they are getting robbed everytime they get pulled over, or they might die because a police officer is present. Ironically with civil asset forfeiture people get their property stolen by police everyday without conviction, but that's another whole topic.

I don't know yet if I'd call this murder, but there's one thing I'm certain of: the twitterers are murdering the spelling of his #TerenceCrutcher hashname on the internets.

Drug trafficking and some alcohol and vehicle related stuff.

How in the frick is "more training" going to help with a non-compliant suspect?

Graham v Connor:


I actually quoted this earlier in the thread

quote:

Lamont v. State of New Jersey, 2011 U.S. App. LEXIS 4104, March 4, 2011 
An officer who uses deadly force in the mistaken belief that a suspect is armed will be forgiven as long as the mistake is reasonable and the circumstances otherwise justify the use of such force. 


Knowing what we know now, could someone make a reasonable argument that he was a danger to someone else? Does simply being high constitute a life threatening condition? Also, if the window was rolled up and the officer claims he was reaching through it, I suspect she might have a problem.

You fight cops in a courtroom with an attorney. Preferably one with experience with law enforcement training and tactics that can articulate what went wrong and can also bring in experts. I know a guy. ;-)

Do we know this? It looked like he reached into the window on the video but it's hard to tell.

Yep the drivers side window is rolled all the way up. The sun roof is open I think, but they weren't talking about the sunroof in the first place.

You have to get training for any tool you use in this line of work because everyone MMQBs any and everything we do


im guessing if the gut instinct was to write:

"you have to get training because you always want to get it right when dealing with the publics safety"

things would be a little less tense between community and police.

Wait, what? More training is used quite literally to help with non-compliant suspects.

LINK

quote:

As Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings noted Thursday night, “This police department trained in de-escalation far before cities across America did it. We’re one of the premier community policing cities in the country, and this year we have the fewest police officer-related shootings than any large city in America.”

Indeed, the results speak for themselves. In 2012, police shot 23 people. By 2015, the number had fallen to 11. This year, it’s at one. In addition, arrests are way down, excessive force complaints have declined, and the city’s murder rate has fallen as well.

It's known it was rolled up. Keep an eye oen for the deceased's lawyer presser and his enlarged death photo. It's cut and dry she lied to her chief and attorney.

Edit: BTW, it's now come out she had a tazer was trained to use it and did not choose to.

High sitting on the ground, on your porch, at a Widespread show? No. Claiming your vehicle will explode and moving to get back in it to potentially drive away? Very possible. There is no set in stone determination. The individual incidents are fact dependent. The officers' actions are judged on what they perceived in the moment and not by the facts learned later.
